The Strange Little Lines That Humans Draw...

UK ORDERS ONLY

"Who exactly are Girl One And The Grease Guns" ? After the passing of nearly 4 years, several people are still asking that very question whenever they listen to any of their single releases. The simple answer is (and has always been) "It Does Not Matter".
All that really matters is, over seven limited edition 7"s, released between April 2013 and July 2015 on Squirrel Records (now sadly deceased) Girl One And The Grease Guns delivered nineteen slices of electronic pop brilliance and off-kilter, experimental compositions. Not so easy to pin down, sonically speaking - one minute they could get you up on the dance floor with something really catchy such as Jessica 6 or The Shatterproof Man, and the next they could have you sticking your fingers in your ears with a white hot slab of pure noise such as (Here Come The) Catastrophe Machines. Somewhere in between the two, they could deliver tracks like (I'm A) Willing Receiver or Bring On The Dancing Horse Meat - both of which have strong pop elements - but certainly not in the typical sense.

Earlier this month, Girl One And The Grease Guns announced they would be releasing The Strange Little Lines That Humans Draw In The Dust - a 20 track compilation CD of absolutely everything they have recorded so far (excluding tracks they are currently in the process of mixing for their debut album, which will be released in early 2017) This CD is being released on their very own brand new label, Next Phase : Normal Records.

And so, here it is...The Strange Little Lines That Humans Draw In The Dust. All the singles, plus the bonus tracks, all gathered together in one place. You can almost smell the soldering fumes from those dodgy old synths as you listen - and that's certainly our kind of sonic pleasure...

Released: Wednesday 11th January 2017

Well, we like that number, as it's the playing speed of a 7" single. We always said that 33 isn't enough, and 78 is too many.

The Shatterproof Man

The seventh, and final, 7" single release from Girl One And The Grease Guns - and maybe even the best of the whole bunch ! Girl One And The Grease Guns started out as a mysterious combo who refused to play by the rules.....which meant no real band member names, no promo photographs, and no live gigs. Here at Squirrel Records we wondered whether this uncompromising approach would instantly relegate... [more]

Girl One And The Grease Guns / Jen Schande

Girl One And The Grease Guns continue to deliver dark and moody (but also catchy and poppy) slices of electronic, synth laden goodness - and this latest offering is a worthy addition to their ever increasing discography. "Suburban Robot" is a natural follow-on from their previous 7", Bashed, Beaten And Broken (Trip The Switch) b/w Made Out Of Perspex. There's a real sense of menace in this track... [more]

Bashed, Beaten And Broken (Trip The Switch)

1, 2, 3, 4, 5 singles in - and Girl One And The Grease Guns are on a roll. Bashed, Beaten And Broken (Trip The Switch) is possibly their darkest sounding song yet. With its dystopia soaked lyrics, dirty doom laden synths and pendulum-like beat that seems to be counting the seconds down to something unpleasant, the whole thing stirs up images of dimly lit streets, looming tower blocks, glass strewn...

No Longer Spellbound

Girl One And The Grease Guns released their debut 7" last year. After that, they released 2 more in 2013, and now, here we have the 4th one. The previous 7", (Here Come The) Catastrophe Machines b/w Hitting The Brick Wall sold out in just 3 weeks....officially the fastest selling thing Squirrel Records has ever put out there. That single was a combination of blistering, politically charged noise... [more]

(Here Come The) Catastrophe Machines

Bands such as The Jesus And Mary Chain did it using guitars and a fuzz pedal, but Girl One And The Grease Guns use the crackle, fizz and white noise of old analogue synths to create their own brand of screaming feedback overkill on this, their latest 7" offering. Previous releases by this combo only hinted at their willingness to utilise noise and chaos, but (Here Come The) Catastrophe Machines... [more]

Jessica 6 / Bring On The Dancing Horse Meat

In April this year, Squirrel Records released the debut 7" from Girl One And The Grease Guns. It went on to be one of the fastest selling 7"s we've ever unleashed on the world. Now, this mysterious collective deliver their follow-up... another 7" release which continues the electro pop approach of the previous single... but this one is even better.

Driving Without Headlights (Once Again)

Who are Girl One And The Grease Guns ? The names on the 7" sleeve simply say they're Sissy Space Echo, Warren Betamax, Charles Bronson Burner and Bruce LeeFax. What they play in the band doesn't really matter, but even the quickest listen to what is held within the grooves of this jet black slab of wax will reveal Sissy Space Echo is certainly the vocalist, at the very least. The names are great,... [more]
